http://www.mail-archive.com/tinycc-devel@nongnu.org/msg00228.html seems to be discussing the same problem, and there's a suggested patch but it's corrupted by the mail archive. I think http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2005-09/txtJuEgJiyPEC.txt is the same patch. Perhaps someone can

[Bug 56891] sort's -u is Failing to Check all -k fields for Uniqueness.

I think Steve Harms is wrong above. The problem still remains in Dapper. It's just gphoto2 appears to have changed from a virtual package to a real one. But the problem remains with awk. $ t() { apt-cache show $1 /tmp/t 21; echo $?; wc -c /tmp/t; } $ t foo 100 53 /tmp/t $
